Image/Process Containers

[Ignacio]

How do I apply a process container (built from the History Explorer on a given image), to a bunch of images in an image container?

I tried it but it complains as there are references to previews, etc, of the original image that don't seem to change (as a variable) to the filenames of the image-container images.

Thanks

Anybody out there?

Drag the Blue Triangle from your ImageContainer onto the Icon of the ProcessContainer (or maybe the other way round, I am not sure).  (And watch Harry's videos when you have time).

I've done that, and the problem is that the sequence of procedures make reference to previews, whose names don't seem to change and stay pointing to the original image.

thanks

Sorry, I did not understand what the problem was.
I dont think there is a way to do what you want to do with ImageContainter. It is possible to apply one constant process to a set of images, where there must be no additional changing images or references. To do what you want to do you probably need to write a script.

Hi Ignacio, if I understand what you are trying to do, it should not happens, but I do not have PI now to make a try. May be as workarround do not built it from the History explorer, you can generate the procces container dragging each of the procces from the History explorer one by one to a new process container.

Thanks Georg and Alejandro for your responses. It seems that a script is the way to go, but I ended up doing something simmilar to what Alejandro suggested: opened each image, created the necessary previews, modidified the file names in the process container, and applied the container.

It is a lot of work. Wouldn't it be nice if the ProcessContainer built from History would carry previews setting data (similar to masks, dynamic crop, etc), and "variableize" the file names?
